To paraphrase a certain US Senator: What planet have you been brought up on to come to this totally quirky assessment of her performance? I cannot remember from the recent past any would-be-professional politician behaving as insecure and "proving" as ponderously as Betsy McCaughey did on that show. (I must admit, though, I've only seen the truncated part of the interview and can't be bothered to watch the rest.)
Seriously, it gave me physical pain watching her talking around that hot spot "page 432" for ages. - Why the hell didn't she just read out the important part of the law in the beginning in order to demonstrate her point? I mean, "someone must have ripped out that page"... COME ON?!?! Are you kidding me? Even if somebody DID rip that page out, she should have checked again right before the show. Better, she should know the paragraph in question by heart.
And don't start telling me Jon Stewart was unfair, interrupting her all the time. Of course he was. That's his style. She must have known before, and, despite this very style, should have been able to confidently, and in plain language, insert her point. Otherwise, she's just not fit for TV interviews, esp. with all that grinning in the wrong direction and stupidly laughing at Stewart making fun her. Face it, she made a complete fool of herself and her cause with that performance.
